The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) reports that telco companies have stated that they are prepared to fully execute the SIM Registration act even if they anticipate "birth pains" in the early going.

Never worry: It’s 180 days until you register your SIM card – solon 

Since there are 180 days left to complete the registration procedure, a politician has reassured the public that they have plenty of time to register their subscriber identity module (SIM) cards. 


In a statement on Tuesday, Kabayan Rep. Ron Salo added that the government would extend the 180-day period specified in Republic Act No. 11934, popularly known as the SIM Registration Act, if it saw the need to do so.

"People shouldn't worry if they can't register their SIMs right away because the law gives them a 180-day grace period to comply, which may be extended if necessary," Salo added.

Salo made this statement in response to some mobile phone owners having trouble registering their SIM cards, with many of them failing to even access the government- and telecommunications-provided registration portal.
